I totally agree. For me it hugely varies on time of year, needs of the dog ect. This is precisely why I have one dog. It needs more than my best weeks can give it.
To me it's not as much time limitations as just shear boredom. Don't get me wrong, I like to coon hunt, but my good gracious it's painful at times standing in the dark listening to a dog do the same thing it did yesterday for even a few nights in a row. If you got buddies it's fun, if you were collecting furs it was fun, or if you were getting hunted up for an event at least there is a goal.
To leave my house in the dark, drive, cut, listen, walk to a tree, shine and repeat can only be a thrill in small doses or with constant new dogs. 30 years ago? Maybe, there was just less to interest me, but now a days.... I'd need to lose electric.
